Good evening Mr. Paul Marles. Today I made my first sales out of 120 books published(journals, composition notebooks, recipe journals, Christmas Coloring books and Camping journals. And the niches are growing). 3 to be more precise. This is my first comment on your youtube channel and I have waited for this since October 14, because that was the date when I launched my first journal. A simple blue cover and a lined interior. I learned from you how to do it and since then I am following you and learned many good things about publishing on KDP. So, please keep up the good work because someone like me(from Romania) is taking good advantage of all of the information you put out here on your channel.
A big big thank you and all of your work it is like you are saying "Really much appreciated".
😁😁😁

Hey Paul, another brilliant video tutorial. When I say thank you, I really mean it. I don't think people realize how much time it took you to learn everything that you teach in your tutorials. We don't have to wonder what or how to do things. You've given us everything to succeed. We only have to use our imagination. Thank you and God bless! 🤗👏

Hey Paul, I just stumbled upon your YouTube channel a week or so ago. My first duotone journal (second journal overall) was published on 1/3 and I just got my first sale yesterday (two days later). All I did was follow your step-by-step instructions. Thanks so much!

Hi Paul, I like your videos the best. You are no-nonsense and so knowledgeable. Other people's videos I have seen I end up shutting off if they are annoyingly trying to entertain us.

[MariaRivera]

Thank you so much Paul. I'm happy and grateful to meet you. You are the kind of teacher I love. Direct to the point. Even when the English is my second language, I understand clearly. Your video help me to realize my biggest dream, publish my first journal. Yes I did it. Now I have the confidence to keep going. My journal is already in Amazon.
